DIY Floating Orchid Back Drop

Can't wait to see the pics!!

I'm tying a knot at the bottom of each of the flowers that I string. I'm thinking that if necessary, a dab of hot glue on each flower's center will keep them exactly where I want them.

I got all my flowers from Michael's, as well as the line for it. The employee that I talked to at the store recommended the jewelry line to string them on, as it's stronger than anything else, apparently. It was pretty expensive compared to the others (at $18 vs $6 or $7), but I figure I'm savings HUNDREDS by DIY'ing, so a few extra bucks wasn't going to make or break me.

I can't wait to see a picture!

The inspiration pic is gorgeous!!! There sure are some talented ladies here! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Sounds great! Where are you all buying your orchids from? Michaels? I'm looking to use orchids for our centerpieces. I can't wait to see your pictures.

I found some orchids at DollarTree, I'm going to give it a try.

Okay so i FINALLY took pics guys! There was an issue because I kept them hanging at work, and I had to take them down in a rush due to construction/expansion and they got SUPER tangled. took me 3 days to take them apart. but.... (drum roll please...)

 

 

here they are!!!

I definitely need to make more.

 

I tied a paperclip around the top ends so that you can hook the string around that way.

 

Oh wow!! That looks sooo gorgeous!! Good job on an amazing DIY project!

the FI looked at it and was like.... "oh.. nice.. so like I was saying..."
